"Last year, Red Lobster reported $11 million in operating losses following its flubbed 'Ultimate Endless Shrimp' deal, which backfired when it reeled in too many customers after the limited-time promo became a permanent menu fixture last June. The restaurant chain later reported $12.5 million in losses in the fourth quarter of 2023."

Well considering that I'm a "millennial" and literally not a single person I know has ever visited, requested, or mentioned Red Lobster as a restaurant choice... they might have deeper trouble than some shitty shrimp. Can't run a business forever when your largest potential market is 65+...

The biscuits are the best part and they sell the mix, so not a lot of reason to visit if there's any other options for seafood.
